'Chainsaw Man' Graces the Cover of 'Nylon Japan'

Nylon Japan has unveiled its cover stars for its February 2023 issue. For its special edition, the magazine will feature the titular Chainsaw Man on its front cover, whom Nylon Japan describes as the “new generation anti-hero.” Meanwhile his nemesis, Katana Man will grace the inner cover for the Chainsaw Man issue.

As for the regular edition, the cover stars musician Kenshi Yonezu, who wrote and performed Chainsaw Man’s opening theme song “KICK BACK,” alongside Daiki Tsuneta, the frontman of King Gnu and millennium parade. The magazine also features an exclusive interview with the anime’s director, Ryuu Nakayama, and producer Keisuke Seshimo. Other features include detailed interviews with numerous artists who have also produced and performed ending theme songs for the Chainsaw Man anime.

Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s bestselling manga, the MAPPA-produced anime has had its fair share of mixed reception since its premiere. Despite this, the anime is still very much hyped and widely streamed across networks, ranking second after Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Arc on MyAnimeList’s Top Airing Anime.

Both the regular and special editions of Nylon Japan’s February 2023 issue will be available to purchase starting December 26. For more information, head to Nylon Japan’s website.
